#ghost rider family

[dissonantia-goddess-of-chaos]

Cassandra "Cassie" Slade/"The Rogue Rider": [20] Born in the rural areas of Rio Hondo, Texas, Cassandra Santos was born into a rancher family who inherited the wealth of her late grandfather, who used to be a rich man in Spain. At the age of 6, her parents were brutally murdered by a group of outlaws who raided their home for the money, and they chased her down because she was a witness. Before they could kill her, Carter showed up and slaughtered all of them, saving Cassie. Sympathetic for the girl, he took her in and raised her as his own. As the years went by, Carter trained the young girl how to tame horses and become an accurate sharpshooter just like her old man. Cassie has short warm black hair, tan skin, and soft brown eyes. She has light brown freckles on her face and shoulders. As a result of her constant training and completing chores around Carter's ranch, she as a slim-thick and athletic build.

When she turned 20, Dissonantia granted her the power to become a ghost rider without a contract, and allowed to tame a hellsteed to be her companion. She ended up choosing a demonic bullhorse, a hellish hybrid between a bull and a hellsteed mare. They are characterized by their front facing horns, infernal color scheme (red, blue, purple, black, etc.), fiery flaming and smoking mane and tail, larger size, and untamable and aggressive nature. Despite the numerous failed attempts to tame the wild beast from Hell, Cassie managed to subdue and domesticated the inferno horse. She named the beast "Ares".

Cassie inherited her father's cape, and can turn it into a pancho (with or without a hood), a cape, and a cloak, often wearing her hat over the hood of the cloak form during hot and humid weather.

As the Rogue Rider, she uses different handguns and pistols inspired by Western movies and games, rifles, a chain lasso, a crossbow with holy bolts, regular bow and arrows, Bowie knife, machete, a spiked whip, hatchets, spiked brass knuckles, sticks of dynamite that explodes with hellfire, etc.

She views herself aligned between Lawful Good and Lawful Neutral, since she doesn't want to kill anyone but knows that sometimes you need to punch a few teeth out to get a point across. Other than that, she's a sweet and genuine young lady who just wants to help out and make friends.

Her Ghost Rider outfit looks similar to this and this, but she often wears t-shirts and flannels with blue jeans and boots when working or hanging out with the rest of the Ghost Rider kids, Pancho, Ryan, and Lethal (@dissonantia-goddess-of-chaos).

Even when her parents' murders happened when she was 6, she can still remember every last detail: walking out of her bedroom, seeing the blood stained carpet, gruff and gritty voices, shots being fired, her mom screaming and her dad shouting profanities, then turning the corner to see nine men trying to crack open her father's safe while his and her mother's bodies laid on the floor of Mr. Santos' office. She remembered silently backing away, until one of the wooden floor boards creaked underneath her, grabbing the attention of the robbers. She made a run through the open door of the house, sprinting as fast as her little legs could carry her, sobbing and pleading for help. Then she tripped over a rock. As the group of marauders closed in around her, Carter appeared and brought justice to her family by massacring all of them. As he comforted a crying Cassandra, he carried her back to the ranch house, leaving her on the living room couch as he went upstairs to check on her parents. Cassie didn't feel like staying alone, so she followed the skeletal gunslinger upstairs. Carter tried to shoo the girl out of the room so she didn't have to bear the pain of her parents'demise, but she still walked over to the safe and pressed in the code, unlocking the safe. She offered him the money, and of course Carter refused, but they managed to agree that they should take the money so Carter could properly be able to take care of Cassie without worrying about financial trouble.

The deep depression and anger towards her parents' murderers eventually left Cassandra's heart as she grew older, seeing the Western Ghost Rider as her real father.

Her way of "silently greeting" others from a distance is full western hat tilt: hand on hip and the other to tilt her hat.

She has southern accent, sings pretty well, like Dolly Parton when she sings "Jolene" or some of the singers who have sung "House of the Rising Sun.

Due to her southern/Texan/Mexican accent and grammar, she speaks like "ain't" "-in"" "y'all" "howdy" "git" and "Watt-uh-burger". She refers to Carter as "Paw" or "Pa"/"Padre"/"Jefe" (meaning boss in Mexican slang).

Cassie knows EVERY SINGLE country and Mexican dance, like the ones we had to dance during rodeo day in elementary.

Plays the banjo, viola, and pan flute, often with the rest of the Ghost Rider kids to orchestrate small musicals for fun.

Cassie often walks alongside roads near Carter's farm on her horse, singing or whistling a tune. Sometimes she's accompanied by Damian or Sera, but not Azazel since she doesn't like being in the sun for too long, other times she'll start a race between her and Damian, or she'll spend time with Carter, just talking and bonding with him, doing father-daughter things together.

Favorite movies: Rango, the Magnificent Seven, R.I.P.D. (her and Damian persuaded Carter and Johnny to watch this with the rest of the kids to see their reactions to the main characters (honestly, Slade and Blaze remind me of the main characters)), that one western movie with Leonardo DiCaprio in it, some Mexican movies that aren't trash, but she absolutely refuses to watch any western movie that has racist actors or racist stereotypes towards Native Americans.

Favorite video games: western games, some racing and rpg games, RDR2 is her top favorite

When she was younger, she had an irrational fear of skinwalkers, often having nightmares of a tall, lanky, slender figure with glowing eyes standing outside of her bedroom window, staring into her room, waiting.... watching..... This often results in her running to Carter's room, crying for him to make "the bad man go away!" Azazel telling ghost stories on "Campfire Saturday" nights at the Cottonmouth Ranch and Mexican/Texan ghost legends and cryptids doesn't help with Cassie's fear, either.

Favorite color is sunset/sunrise amber

She is still questioning her sexuality

Gardenia Castle/"Lady Punisher", "daughter of the Punisher/Cosmic Ghost Rider", "the Punisher": [21] Born in Hell to Frank Castle and Ryara, Gardenia is the hybrid between a mortal host of the Spirit of Vengeance and a succubus, with the combined abilities of the Ghost Rider and a high ranking demon. She is the split image of her parents, with fair skin and green eyes of her mother's human form, and the jet black hair and physique of her father (although her muscles are smaller and she has long straight black hair).

Pretty like her mom, but becomes psychotic like her dad as she gets older.

She inherited her parents' resting faces, making her look constantly bored, angry, or annoyed.

Frank ends up training her when she expresses interest in his job.

As she got older, she started becoming emotionally distant towards the other children of Zarathos, and just became meaner in general.

Frank refused to support her wish to join the army, not wanting his daughter to become like him.

As a Ghost Rider AND Lady Punisher, she wears an armored suit that is a mixture of the Punisher's outfit and the Cosmic Ghost Rider space suit. (Link to a Pinterest board I made, you'll see her section)

Throughout her childhood, her and Damian always had a crush on each other, but didn't know how to properly display it. They started dating after Damian's 15th birthday.

She absolutely hates tight skin suits, like Black Widow's.

Often gets in fights with the rest of the kids, with the exception of Lethal and Sera.

A professional ballerina.

She is jealous of Sera's natural elegance and dancing

Idolizes her father, much like how Damian, Cassie, and Pancho do to theirs.

If Frank ever decides to quit being Dissonantia's herald, Gardenia will take his place.

She has the inability to be traumatized by bloodshed due to inheriting her mother's bloodlust.

Pancho—who is just as insane as Lobo—is scared of Gardenia because of how sadistic and merciless she can be.

He describes her as "a crazy b*tch with a 'loose hand'", meaning she will not hesitate to pull out her gun and blow off someone's brains out or slit someone's throat with a dagger.

On a mission with her father, Gardenia had to help him take down a corrupted priest that was related to the mafia who was also was possessed by a demon and lead a demonic army against Dissonantia.

She had to disguise herself as a nun, with all sorts of hidden weapons underneath her uniform.

She rides a hellfire motorcycle.

She is Chaotic Neutral.

As the Lady Punisher, she had access to her father's armory and weaponry, but she often uses her Ghost Rider abilities to summon hellfire versions of said weapons.

Her way of "silently greeting" others from a distance is a simple nod.

She developed her father's Italian accent, although it's subtle.

She occasionally plays piano and can seduce others with her singing like her mother.

In her freetime, Gardenia likes to read, walk in the Castle's garden, and work out with her father in the gymnasium. Occasionally, she enjoys DND nights with the rest of the kids.

She got a Hellhound German shepherd named Coffee after she finished Dissonantia's training.

Favorite movies: none come to mind.

Favorite video games: stealth and fighting games. Call of Duty

Favorite color is emerald green

Her sexuality is straight.

Pancho, Son of Lobo: [21]

Ryan Wilson/Grey Menace: [20]

some more ghost rider sketches, version i guess i wanted to draw some bones,

including a partial prototype of whatever the hell the Rider has going on underneath his skin-suit (which might need more leather 'muscles' but. whatever), a theoretical endpoint of how dead Robbie could get in my verse, which. unlikely? extremely. but fun to draw, and a line-up of Robbie, Lisa, and Gabe

in theory, Lisa's sense of style was inspired by @wazzappp 's post of Claire's fashion Lisa, but, well, outfit design eludes me. so. brightly colored vague y2k vibes are. the best i got

SOBBING CRYING THROWING UP

[tokuteasings]

Protective: Takeru, Makoto, Kanon, Alain

I got to think about these four while driving around with my bro (who I consult with whenever I write lol, he helps me out a lot with these fics) and it got me thinking.

Besides, Ghost doesn’t get enough love. It’s a very down the middle season from what I am told but I think it’s neat~! Besides, I’ll take any chance I can get to talk about them lol.

Warnings: I...don’t think so????

Tenkuuji Takeru

It depends on your situation, truth be told, when it comes to Takeru’s protectiveness. If you’re a Rider like he, he’s protective of you in a similar way that he is protective of Makoto or Alain. He trusts you to stay safe in fights but he will always send a glance towards you or keep you in the corner of his eye. But if you’re a civilian, it’s much different. Takeru originally did not want you to get involved in any of this Gamma biz at all! Especially since uh…he’s a….ghost. He wants you to have a normal life, without all of this hectic stuff. Takeru will put up a bit of a distance between the two of you even though he does want to get closer. He can’t tell you even as the guilt is building up within him, Akari and Onari do their best to help during this time lol. 

If you’re in a relationship with him during this time, Takeru has this degree of protectiveness over you that’s honestly rather chill? He trusts you, so he doesn’t get jealous easily (if he does it takes a loooot to get him stressed out and even then when he’s jealous he’s only pouty jelly) but in general he knows you won’t cheat on him or anything. If you ask, he will use his powers around you and turn invisible to follow you around if like a dude is stalking you. If anything during his moments of being invisible, he tends to give you like…secret hugs and touches only felt by you. Like he’ll wrap his arms around your waist and you can feel him resting his head on your shoulder - protectively so and probably pouting - as your…comfort blanket is the best way to describe it. Since he can also generate force fields, this is his first line of defense…other than physically putting himself between you and the aggressor. 

Of course, it doesn’t mean he won’t jump into action to protect you. He doesn’t want to undermine you at any sort of manner and will wait until you want him to do it but Takeru will not fucking hesitate to jump in front of you - be it between you and a Gamma or you and another human. Though, he is naturally a pacifist and will try to talk to the aggressor at any point in time. He understands that there are people that can’t be reasoned with but it won’t hurt to try? ”Don’t kill if you can wound, don’t wound if you can subdue, don’t subdue if you can pacify, and don’t raise your hand at all until you’ve first extended it.” sort of mindset. As he can read your mind sometimes (but doesn’t do it because he respects you) he will sometimes use it as a precaution. To see what is going on in the eyes of your aggressor and if they can be reasoned with. If you allow him to read your mind as a form of protection, Takeru will jump to your defense a lot quicker.

That being said, if you two are in a relationship and he happens to be around physically, Takeru always has his hand holding yours. It’s his favorite form of physical affection and whenever he puts himself between you and your aggressor. It’s a handgrip that assures you that he’ll be there for you. But he loves having his hands on you in general, it makes him feel grounded and human again. He can’t feel much as a ghost, so anything that anchors him back to the human world is something he cannot take for granted. So yeah! Hand-holding. It’s also a good way to tell if he’s jealous, his hands almost…fade even though they try to squeeze your hand tighter and tighter - as though he’s losing confidence in himself. If you two are simply friends, he still would want to hold hands! It’s his fave way of showing affection no matter what.

Takeru naturally can feel your emotions, even at a distance. This is probably due to how close he is to you (romantiic or platonic) and what you feel, he feels. If you are in danger, Takeru will feel it. He has a bleeding heart and he will run (or float lol) to your side as quickly as he can. It’s like…he’s a fucking sensor lol. Of course he won’t do anything to invade your privacy but whenever you are in distress and he can’t be there, expect Takeru to come fucking barreling towards you, spiritually or physically.

Fukami Makoto

Compared to Takeru, Makoto shows his protectiveness VERY outwardly. He’s also naturally super protective of you, either as a romantic partner or as a friend. Makoto has been uh, emotionally….stunted for oh so long that these feelings of protectiveness towards you are uh…threatening to legit overtake him. It’s to the point he’s OVERPROTECTIVE. You really need to communicate with Makoto that you’ll be fine because normally he’ll be standing over your shoulder and glaring at anyone within 70 feet distance. But really, his feelings of protectiveness are raw and not feral but…more so brought to the surface. 

Physically, it’s different. Especially in a romantic sense. Takeru likes holding your hands but Makoto? He isn’t truly used to physical affection all that much. Or uh, at all. So the best thing he is best at is merely being an intimidating force to be reckoned with. Overtime, however, Makoto will become easier with this. Like Takeru, he’ll enjoy hand holding (romantically or platonically) but if we’re going in a romantic sense, Makoto prefers having his hand against the small of your back. It’s like he’ll catch you if you fall. Hand holding is still a favorite of his, because he can gauge your reaction to his touches much better this way and know when he needs to step in. Platonically, he’ll wrap an arm around your shoulders or grip you by your bicep. 

That being said, he’s a lot more physical than Takeru is or even Kanon and Alain. He’s probably the most ready to become physical with someone that threatens your safety. If Takeru attempts to pacify, Kanon attempts to defuse, Alain is verbally threatening, then Makoto is the shield. Even if there is a slight chance for a situation to escalate, Makoto is already there pushing you behind him and glaring down the aggressor. Depending on your relationship with him at the time, Makoto will do one of two things. If it’s romantically, he has his hand in yours, ready to make a break for it if need be or to give you a reassuring squeeze. If it’s platonically, Makoto will shoot you a reassuring smile before glaring back at the fucker who threatened you. This extends to you if you’re a Rider or a Gamma who is an ally. He will throw himself at the person who is attacking you, no hesitation. 

Oh, woe to the people who actually hurt you and you’re in a romantic situation with him. Kanon is protective of you as well so it’s a two-for-one situation but she’s the gentle bed while Makoto is the bat you keep by your bedside. If he even so much as sees a single tear or a bruise on you, he would only gently take you into his hands, and running his thumb over the wound or tear; it’s like he’s trying to take away your pain and with his healing powers, he knows he can. But it’s only physical, it’s never emotional (sometimes he laments that he doesn’t have Takeru’s ability to heal the wounds of the mind) and he whispers in this…barely contained rage but he’s keeping it together just for you and seethes out: “Who hurt you?”

Makoto is audibly better at understanding danger. He can tell minute changes in pitch and is more than able to see it physically happening. He knows the sound of your voice whenever you’re in distress (he calls it his ‘oniisan instincts’) and can hear it from possibly some good distance away. Even through a phone, Makoto can tell. Expect him to throw a punch immediately once he finds you in danger, however, no thoughts in that head of his. He’s a lot gentler once everything is over, though. He scans your body with lightning speed and gently puts a hand on your shoulder and gives you a gentle reassuring smile and a squeeze to your shoulder. “You’ll be okay, it’s over now, I’m here to protect you.” this is like second nature for him, protecting someone. 

Fukami Kanon

Kanon and Takeru are rather similar in their protectiveness. Now that she has her body again, she’s a lot more physical with you if you two are in a romantic relationship. Like Takeru, she’s more so into hand holding to communicate protectiveness. But while Takeru will rub his thumb over your knuckles and rub circles into your skin in an effort to calm you down (and himself) Kanon prefers lacing fingers together. It’s like…a lock, to keep the two of you safe and in a sound mind. She squeezes your hand during these times too. 

As stated before, Kanon is the defuser. She tries to listen to both sides of the situation. Unless, of course, the aggressor is simply unable to be reasoned with. It’s not that she won’t hesitate to throw fucking hands, but more so along the lines as she is used to being the voice of reason. Makoto is the one who gets physical but Kanon’s first instinct is to call her brother for help, then Alain, and then finally Takeru. If none are available, due to her small stature, she will probably run the fuck away with you in toe. She isn’t much of a fighter but if backed into a corner, she will transform (if needed) or just use whatever she can get her damn hands on as a weapon. She can defend herself, kind of, when she needs to! She will run, then if she has to, use the spells Takeru taught her, and then get physical if she has to. 

Like Makoto, Kanon is an expert on telling the differences within the voices and people around her. She uses it on Makoto most of the time but she can also tell the difference between pitches of your voice through a phone. Kanon is a lot more rational than her brother though, who is ready to smack a ho. She will probably run to your rescue with a plan set…or a semblance of one. 

If you are also a Rider, Kanon is always on the lookout for you as you are for her. She isn’t as experienced as her brother or the rest of them but Kanon has enough power in her for sure. Similar to Takeru, she is physically turning to check on you every now and then or ensuring that she fights closer to you. She’s also rather verbal during these moments too, sometimes shouting at you from across the battlefield if you’re doing alright. It’s kind of sweet to see, lol. It’s why she sticks closer to you, you two cover each other’s weaknesses. 

However, what separates Kanon from the others is that she is a good judge of character. By a simple glance she can ascertain whether or not the threat will become an actual threat to you long before you can even realize whatever is a threat…ya know is a threat. She wants to believe in the good of people no matter what, but she is able to sense malice better than the rest of the boys and is often the first by your side. She will physically stand beside you instead of front of you, wanting to take on whatever it is together instead of being gungho about protecting you and you alone. She’s a supportive sort of protectiveness, saying that you two can both do it and that she’ll be beside you no matter what. 

Alain

Alain has this aura of danger about him, of demand. As stated before, he is the verbal threat. Simply walking towards your aggressor has them already sweating bullets (if they are a human or something lesser) and some are already ready to back off. Though, with his stature and pretty face (like unfair) some may not take him very seriously. That is why his aura is so intimidating, he has perfected it over his many years of life and is ready to use it at first glance. Not to mention his verbal threats are so….eversecal that it makes your body shudder and shiver in fright. Of course when this is over, he turns back to you and questions if you’re alright with this flurry of worry. He’s distant, hesitant to touch you, but does when he needs to. It’s feather-light, worried he may harm you further.

If you’re a Rider like he is or an ally in the thick of battle, Alain trusts you to take care of yourself. But he always has you in the corner of his eye and whenever he can, he tends to send weapons over to you. Be it little things like maybe a pipe or something physical to thwack someone with, or simply one of his own weapons to share between the two of you. Alain is a fierce warrior and it’s more often than not that you two have trained together. So you two are much more in sync then say if you and Makoto working together. This applies romantically and platonically if you so wish. 

Similar to the others, Alain tends to become a shield whenever you are in danger. He puts himself between you and your aggressor. He has a sort of…not short fuse but more so he knows what he’s capable of. And this fucker WILL know what he’s capable of. He won’t hurt them…physically, but scar them…probably. Or scare them. Either or. I mean, whatever comes first. Sure he may ask for his guards to come protect you (he rivals Makoto in terms of overprotectiveness) but more often than not he’s handling it himself. He isn’t afraid to get physical for sure, but he would rather not. He knows his power and will not hesitate to flaunt it. 

If anything, Alain will not hesitate to call Makoto for help. He has allies and knows them well. Alain is powerful by himself but lord help the aggressor if they ever harm you. If you think Makoto has barely concealed rage, Alain’s is a volcano. It’s a simmering flame that can and will boil over whenever possible. It’s magma attacking the aggressor and all of his pent up rage can and will almost cause them to cowl in reverence and fear. Makoto would gently touch you but Alain couldn’t…he’s worried he’ll hurt you further. He’s shaking the entire time he’s wiping away tears and his hiss is a deadly cobra’s song. He’s worried about losing you, he’s lost so much before…he won’t lose anyone else again: friend or significant other or otherwise.

As Alain isn’t really used to physical affection, when it comes to physically protecting you he’s kind of at a loss. But he does what his instincts tell him to. He stands in front of you and if he can, he will take the hits that are meant for you and you alone. There are times when he reaches out to you to hold you, to hold your hand and it stops in the middle of the air. It sometimes doesn’t go further even though he knows that he can. It’ll take some goading and getting used to but Alain will be physically attentive to you whenever he can. As he was raised in a rather…uh…hostile environment (ish), he’s an expert on seeing whether or not the aggressors have concealed weaponry or if they mean business. As such, Alain will know the first second whether or not this person is going to be a problem for you and he has like 60 diff back up plans to enact to protect you.

anGR RE7 au part two electric boogaloo

part 1

Robbie thinks he’s protecting himself and Gabe by not telling the BSAA, but they totally already know they're both infected. Mandatory blood tests revealed incredibly high concentrations of the mold in both of them. Sidenote with the blood testing: Robbie would absolutely use the fuck out of the psychostimulants. In the game they reveal hidden loot so I think that would translate to hyper-vigilance and oh jeez would he use the hell out of that in a survival horror situation. But what the fuck are the psycho stimulants? Addaral? Meth? COCAINE? Idk dude but I think it would be funny as fuck for a scientist to go “Yeah with this mold concentration he should have mutated into a horrifying monster by now and he hasn’t but WHY THE FUCK HAS HE TAKEN ENOUGH COKE TO KILL A HORSE?” Anyway, tangent over. 

The BSAA has decided to just observe for now. They briefly considered separating them just because Gabe’s virus concentrations of the mold were significantly lower than Robbies, and then remembered that Robbie just single handedly fought through what would have killed two of their teams. If they wanted to try and take Gabe away they should be ready to lose an entire compound of men. Besides, the kid is like a built-in handler for them. He makes Robbie happy, keeps him wanting to be as human as possible, and most importantly keeps him fucking docile. The havoc someone who just cant fucking die (along with probable other powers) would be able to wreak… better to just keep them together.

And the most annoying part for Robbie is that they are probably right. Gabe is his tether to humanity in this AU as much as he is in canon. The hive mind aspect of the mold could make it incredibly easy for Robbie to lose himself without someone to center him. Gabe keeps him focused on things like; needing to eat, needing to drink water, needing to breathe (his skin isn't actually skin, just a mold approximation of it so he doesn't technically need lungs). On that note, after receiving a lot of damage Robbie looks significantly less human. The mold and his subconscious are no longer focused on blending in, but on healing themselves and attacking the threat. Places where scars from past injuries at the Baker house are most apparent usually start to turn black and spiderweb out, along with whatever area received damage. It takes a few hours and a feeling of safety to go back to normal.

I've been thinking about how to fit Lisa into this au because I really like her, and I'm thinking she should be a scientist. She's sent once or twice a month to collect blood samples from both of them to monitor their health. At first Robbie does not trust her in the slightest. The mold is still at work combined with his traumatic experiences and she is very much an intruder from an organization he does not trust. Gabe is an entirely different case. His mind isn't as influenced as Robbies and he still desires more social interaction than he's presently getting (hence talking to the mold in the walls like I said on my previous dump) So he's also skeptical about Lisa at first but warms up to her pretty quick. She doesn't get annoyed when he asks her about her cool equipment like some of the other people who come by, and she actually talks to him like a person. 

Goldendaydna made a BEAUTIFUL suggestion for getting Robbie to trust Lisa more quickly and it translated into my brain as this so here is how their first meeting goes: Lisa comes in early in the morning and introduces herself as a doctor from the BSAA here to make checkups on them. Both of the brothers are pretty suspicious and really don't trust her. But she explains that she's just here to take a few samples and run some cognitive tests while she's emptying out her bag. She sees Gabe eyeing the equipment and starts to explain what each thing does while taking it out. Robbie is straight up not letting Gabe even get close to any of that shit and staring daggers at Lisa but she says she can't leave until these tests are completed. She basically just sits in the kitchen refusing to leave. Hours later Gabe finally gets too curious to leave her be, and starts talking to her while Robbie is outside cooling off. She's been making attempts at small talk all morning and every time Robbie ignores her she writes a fucking memo in her stupid little notebook who the hell does she even think sHE IS GOD DAM- anyway. Gabe agrees to do some bloodwork after she offers to show him how her equipment works. She seems nice and what she's talking about isn't scary at all! The mold in the house lets him know what's happening and Robbie just BOOKS it back inside while tendrils of black start to creep out the crevices of the walls. Lisa gets that she is very clearly not welcome and puts her hands up while still holding her notepad “Ok, ok I get it. I’ll leave.” She takes a look at Gabe, who is currently hiding behind Robbie looking very worried and sets her notebook down on the table with the rest of her equipment. Then takes a couple steps back towards the door. “Don't worry, I won't tell them about all” she gestures at the walls “this. If you want a different doctor the BSAA will send one in.” she says, trying to defuse the situation because there is a very angry Bioweapon in front of her right now. And Robbie actually manages to think through the overprotective moldy haze and realizes that 1. There's no guarantee that she will keep her mouth shut and he can't keep track of that if she goes away forever. 2. Maybe if he’s careful with his words and questions he can try and learn more about him and Gabe's respective infection levels. 3. This is… kind of an overreaction, he can see that. Robbie’s noticed that he's becoming more territorial (he's paranoid not blind) and he very VERY much does not want the mold to affect his mind more than it already has. Maybe she can be practice for not wanting to shove everything that isn't molded out of the house? The mold slowly creeps off the walls and he flops down in a chair and puts his arm on the table basically saying ‘FINE’.

Lisa serves a double purpose; collection of samples and observation as well as socialization. She really did mean it when she said she wouldn't tell the BSAA. Mostly because she doesn't need to, they already know Robbies infected (Robbie just doesn't know that they know oh god it's like a bad detective novel up in my brain rn). But getting the samples at all when her coworkers were expecting extraordinary violence definitely earns her some brownie points at work. Robbie seems perfectly fine keeping his own little world isolated to himself and Gabe, but if he ever begins to feel trapped the BSAA needs to know how safe he is around other people and if the brothers can be reintegrated into less isolated areas. They are mostly concerned with Robbies aggression because.. well… he has shown to be VERY AGGRESSIVE when fighting through the Bakers house (I mean Ethan and by proxy Robbie cut Jack Baker in half with a chainsaw to be fair). 

Because Lisa is more trusted by the brothers, she is often sent ahead of time if someone else needs to come by the house. In this way she acts both as a buffer for the mold's hatred (and subsequently Robbies hatred) of unfamiliar people coming into what is supposed to be a safe place. For example, if the electricity goes out she might show up an hour before the electrician to prepare the boys for someone new arriving. When she shows up they're both just sitting in the dark around a candle with the light reflecting off their eyes lol.

I think with Ethan being trained by the BSAA (probably to be used as an agent) they would probably do the same with Robbie at first. If they can use his brother to keep him under control he could be incredibly effective at neutralizing new bio threats. I think Robbie would be skeptical about what they're training him for but I don't think he would object to learning more about how to defend himself. Eventually I think the BSAA would decide that he's too volatile to be used as an agent… but maybe Gabe could still be useful. It's important to remember the BSAA aren't really evil, but they are desperate and probably corrupt to a certain degree (so..kind of evil? Whatever lol). They're not like the old Umbrella Corporation but they aren't any kind of morally pure. I think they would try and find a way to sedate Robbie so Gabes skills could be freely utilized.

Speaking of the good doctor, some comic goodies I picked up this week from a friend of mine, mostly DS since he knows my tastes.

It pays to have friends who sell comics on weekends!

Book #145 - Der Schimmelreiter by Theodor Storm

[english title: The Rider On The White Horse] (a PSA to all (future) teachers: this is not a good book for 8th graders. this is not the first classic that any kid should read. there are better ways to explain what a framing narrative is, please.)

A thing that I have realized over the last few months (possibly starting with something I wrote about Hold Me Closer, funnily enough) and which has definitely festered into full-on brain damage since then...

I love reading. I love books. I love stories. (Yes, I know, duh, but hear me out.)

Up until now, these things were true, yes, but in a more limited way. I loved reading good books. I loved reading stories that I liked, that I related to, that made me feel warm and fuzzy and good (or that completely devastated me emotionally, which is equally valid). And I liked it enough to not have it soured by books I ended up not liking. I liked the quiet of reading, I liked that I didn't need electronics to do it, I liked that it didn't chain me to a sofa for a minimum and maximum of two hours. In short, I liked the convenience, the ubiquity and the comfort of books that lit up my brain.

Unfortunately, it has kind of come to pass that that is now... uh. Every Book. Like, I still have opinions and biases and and personal taste, but now I love reading whether or not I like the book I'm reading right now. I have fallen in love with the thing itself, and I refuse to climb back out of this hole.

Btw, wanna know how I know all that? The Rider On The White Horse is boring as shit! Or it should be, if I were still sane. Because this book is mainly just about a weird dude who becomes this official (dikeduke??) and builds a family and a dyke. And a lot of pages are spent on this dude doing his official business, planning and drawing schemes for his dyke and getting permits and having local spats with his neighbors.

Like, the most interesting thing here by far is the framing narrative through which we know that this dude will somehow end up being a ghost story to scare grown men in a pub near the dyke half a century later. And it is spooky and atmospheric, yes, but remember that, in between that, the narrator insists on telling us in detail about the process of building a dyke, and about planning meetings, and about every spat he has with this one dude who hates him for no reason, and ugh. And still, I ate it up.

Half the book, before they get married, he has this sorta cute romance with his future wife, and it is mainly just them talking and having similar interests and holding hands and she is teasing him but also standing up for him, and she helps him into that official position for which they are both intellectually qualified (but, well, 1888. but hey, she can do math and doesn't get ridiculed for it, so yaaay). And she is wicked smart and them doing this shy little dance around each other is actually really sweet and the first time my brain mentioned that to me I kinda just  had to stare at a wall for a while because what

Do you see my point? I am gushing. About a book. That is a 100 page snore fest. And this was just a taste, I could go on for at least twice as long again.

(help me)
